CLOUD SERVER Service in India being managed by any CONSORTIUM?
by Dp Tripathi 09 Nov '19

09 Nov '19

Dear Friends / Seniors, Do you have any idea about CLOUD SERVER Service being managed by any consortium in India? If YES, please share the details. If NOT, we must think about the same for discussion in CONSORTIUM for libararies just like e-resources. Since, most of the libraries are managing / having e-resources, web applications, digital lirbaries and library automation system in their libraries these days, it will be very helpful for all the libaries, if the consortium negotiates on behalf of the institute/university/college. This will bring down the cost involvement and also will be helpful to have one common platform to approach just like e-resources. Not only this, we will have many advantage of this. I will request our seniors and other interested members to please suggest on the same. This seems as URGENT requirement for libaries these day as per my opinion. Your reply is awaited. Thanks DP Tripathi -- ************************************** *Dhanwantari Prakash Tripathi* MA (ECO), MLISc, HDISM, ECDL Ph.D. (Pursue) Commonwealth Fellow, University of East London ************************************** Assistant Librarian & AR (Offg.)
